Move over, cupcakes. Mama has a new favorite treat to make ... cake pops! Perhaps you've seen them in Starbucks. They look like a lollipop but are actually made of cake. After a friend posted a tutorial on her oh-so-clever blog, Jami decided to try her hand at making apple-shaped cake pops for Teacher Appreciation Week gifts. Not only were these fun to whip up, but the teachers loved them! Hmmmm ... wonder what other occasions in our near future might need cake pops?!
The cake pops early on (mixture of
chocolate cake + chocolate frosting all
rolled up with pretzel sticks for the apple stems).
At this point, these went in the freezer to chill.
Tah-dah! The finished apples.
After 45 minutes in the freezer,
they were then dipped in red candy melt
and green fondant leaves were attached.
We packaged up this bunch of apples
and sent them in for the 1st grade teachers.
Thanks to The Busy Bird blog
for this creative idea!
